Wednesday, December 14 – Victorian Christmas Magic-Lantern Show @ Old State House Museum 7pm
Before TV and movies Victorians mixed boisterous fun and touching pathos in their Christmas entertainment. The American Magic-Lantern Theater re-creates a gay nineties Victorian Christmas Magic-Lantern Show and captures the wonder and noisy humor of a Victorian Christmas. The show uses an antique “magic-lantern” that rapidly projects spectacular color slides on a full-size movie screen. They are dramatized by a costumed showman, singers, and musicians—and by the audience, which provides the sound effects, claps, stomps, and joins in chants and sing-alongs. Admission is free. Call (501) 324-9685 to make reservations as seating is limited.
